Hello, from a recent visit to London, I was amazed by the level of security around places like the Houses of Parliament etc with police weilding machine guns and the like. This got me thinking are there any places around the UK that are heavily fortified? What does the UK protect? I remember driving throuhg North Yorkshire once and I spotted what looked like a farm being protected by barriers and high fences and some machine gun police men. Any one else spotted any similar?

Sorry its a bit out of date as it was decommissioned years ago, but there's Kelvedon Hatch. Not really fortified either, more of.... disguised..........as a Bungalow.

Best have a look at the website. It explains it a lot better than I can.

MIlitary establishments,nuclear establishments(they even have the only fully armed police force),airports,foriegn consulates and embassies the list goes on.The place you passed was most probably raf Wittering where years ago they stored nuclear weapons and the police you saw would be MOD.police

Could have been the Fylingdale listening station which monitors every phone call and e-mail which leaves or enters the country. You are being monitored all the time! You can tell it by the monstrous great golf ball aerials.

Yes, of course there are many secret and heavily protected places, but if I told you I'd have to kill you.

Yes. There are lots of secret places in the UK but if I told you where they are then I would have to kill you. Sorry.

If I knew of any, I would tell you...but they are so secret, simple people like me haven't a clue about them.

Yes, but it is secret and heavily fortified so i am not permitted to tell you. Strange question.
